Avoid .ZONE domain names that are too similar to other sites
To make your website distinctive, it is very important that you avoid claiming .ZONE domain names that are too similar to existing sites. These include hyphenated names, numbered names, pluralized names, etc.
You are trying to make your website stand out, so search around first and make sure the .ZONE domain you want isn’t already claimed or too similar to something else.
Add a word to your .ZONE domain name if it is not available
The perfect .ZONE domain name may not be available when you go to claim it. If that is the case, add a memorable word before or after the main name that fits your business. This can be a useful way of getting close to what you want.
